Watch List notes:

KINGS OF MACEDON. Alexander III 'the Great', 336-323 BC. Drachm (Silver, 14 mm, 4.20 g, 11 h), Amphipolis. Head of youthful Herakles to right, wearing lion's skin headdress. Rev. ΑΛΕΞΑ-ΝΔΡΟΥ Eagle with closed wings standing right on thunderbolt; to right, rose. HGC 3.1, 902. Price 77. A couple of tiny scratches, and crystallized, otherwise, extremely fine.



The 'eagle' coinage of Alexander was the Macedonian king's first coinage and was apparently produced only in Macedonia; it seems to have been issued primarily for local use.
